"Flamingo Flare" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I painted "Flamingo Flare" from a photograph taken at our nearby "Moody Gardens" in Galveston,Texas. It is on an 8"x8"  stretched linen canvas. All sides are painted, so it may be left unframed, or placed in your favorite frame. $65.00-includes shipping,packaging, insurance, and signature confirmation if mailed inside the USA!
These are some hard times for many all over the world lately, whether it be from tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, or man himself causing chaos and confusion, remember God is not the author of confusion, but rather peace. HE is in the mist of the fire in your life and in your surroundings. Trust him in all things. He cares for you and me. He knows our needs and will supply them right on time. 

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? Matthew 6:26

"Linked" Abstract painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Linked" is an abstract painting done in acrylics with added texture, on a gallery wrapped 16"x20"x2" stretched linen canvas.$125.00. No shipping charges is shipped within the USA!

 I started with a lay-in of realistic earth tones, and then brushed in a few copper hi-lights. My creative juices were flowing toward some type of foaming motion, with circles or “bubbles” flowing upward; some linking together, some shaking lose. It reminds me of family and friends- linking us together in groups. At times we need the strength that "links" we have with others can create, other times we must shoot-for-the-stars on our own. We can test that, and know that if the need arises, we can fall back on the strength we recieve from others who care for us, and of course our loving God.

 1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

"Honor to the Apache" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

This is a quick sketch of my friend, Raymond. He is a proud Mescalero Apache. And a super sweet guy who loves helping everyone, always volunteering for any good cause, especially Cub and Boy Scouts. I have taken around 50+ photographs of him, and sketched from them several times. I hope to soon paint his portrait in oils.

Jesus said, “Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you” (Matthew 7:1). Many people practice bigotry toward others as a way of feeling superior. Even some of those who call themselves Christians do this. But this is not the way of God. It isn't always easy to be a true Christian. Very few people today would be willing to make the kind of sacrifices that others have made for their faith. But we do not have to hate, commit acts of violence,be cruel with our words or actions. As true Christian's, we don't have to gossip, tell lies, or say anything negative about others. We can and should strive to live our lives as peacefully as possible – as God would want us to do.

Blessings,

Collage "Under the Window" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer


I love doing collages. They are so much fun and great Stress relievers! This one is done on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas with acrylics and paper.


Do you have stress in your life? Give it to God, then get out and do something for someone else! This is a quick way to forget your own troubles for awhile and look at someone else's. Apostle Paul, who endured many horrible things, wrote that his trial was bigger than his ability to endure, but then he offers an explanation. “But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.” (2 Corinthians 1:9) He recognized that this overwhelming time of trouble, he couldn’t handle alone, had caused him to focus more on the power of God, and allow God to work His perfect will. Are you being challenged beyond your ability to endure? Don’t believe that you can do it alone! You can’t! Jesus said, “apart from me you can do nothing!” Nothing! Don’t try anything today without relying on the power of God! He knows you are weak, but He is available to help, so talk to Him about everything! When we are at our weakest, He is strong!

"No Other Love" Graphite drawing by Sandra Reeves Cutrer


This is an 11"x14" graphite pencil drawing.
I took a photo awhile back of my great-niece who was sleeping in my niece's (her Aunt's) lap.
Since then, my niece has given birth to her own little girl. Life goes on...

Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5  (NLT)

"Fire on the Mountains" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Fire on the Mountains" is painted on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas. This was painted from a photo that I took several years ago while up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee in October, just in time to see all of the magnificent display of fall colors. We had stopped the car to view something else, when I looked over and saw all of the yellows, reds, and the small path, probably made by deer or other wild animals that roam the mountain forest. $95.00 plus shipping cost which includes insurance and delivery confirmation signature.


Psalm 46:1-5a “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed,And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;Though its waters roar and be troubled,Though the mountains shake with its swelling. SelahThere is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved.” (NKJV)
